SPEAKING of the discouraging experience
If the Maryland civil-service reformers, an
lnquisitive exchange is moved to make this
Inquiry: IF there are any reformers in In
diana, what do they really think of this adj
ministration?" There were in Indianapolis,
Mt one time, four reformers, with possible
fifth, who pinned their faith to Grover Cleve-
land and determined to stand by him to the
last in his heroic efforts to effect regenera-
ton of the Democratic party. For rea-
son the President failed to value their sup
port at it's true worth and incontinently
snubbed them. When last heard of they
were standing by themselves, lone and
lonesome mugwump group. 1t is not gener-
ally believed that they persisted of despair, but
they did withdraw into obscurity, and no man
has been unkind enough to drag them out to
ask what they think of the administration.
